The Gamosa (sometimes spelled Gamosa or Gamusa) is a vital cultural artifact in Assamese society. It is commonly a white rectangular piece of cloth with primarily a red border on three sides and red woven motifs on the fourth. The Gamosa is not just an article of clothing but a reflection of Assamese identity and heritage. It is especially significant during the Bihu festival, where it is referred to as "Bihuwaan."
The Gamosa is a unique piece of Assamese culture with no equivalent in the rest of India. Its distinct design and multifaceted use make it an important part of Assam's traditional attire. In Assamese culture, the Gamosa comes in two traditional types: the Uka and the Phu Lam.
